Sewanee Peak sunrise
Yesterday morning's sunrise in the southern Sawatch Range was amazing, with cool clouds of many types and colors drifting by. Not sure I did it justice, but here you go.

The evening before, Martina and Baby the Wonder Chihuahua were walking up the trail around sunrise and I told her I was headed down to the lake to take sunset shots. I also said, by the way, that the orange curtain of light moving in our direction was rain and she might want to take cover in the tent. I, on the other hand, weathered the storm because I knew a rainbow was a possibility. Here's one over Calico Mountain. The better shot was marred by raindrops on the lens. That's all for now.

Both of these are exceptional for my tastes Todd. Love the reflection of the first one and the light on the range with that rainbow in the second one is just amazing!!!!

The red ridge, vibrant rainbow and patterns in the right side sky are stand-outs for me.

I really like the first one, Todd. Great to finally see some green images from the high country.

Awesome, Todd. Both of these are really sweet. I'm glad you weathered the storm and made off w/ the rainbow photo.

The rainbow shot is fantastic. A little more detail in the trees would help however the overall image sits well with me.
